== Etymology == | |||
''Kate'' is a diminutive of Katherine. Katherine comes from the Greek Αἰκατερίνη (''Aikaterine''). The etymology is unknown, but could derive from an earlier Greek name Ἑκατερινη (''Hekaterine''), itself from ἑκάτερος (''hekateros'') meaning "each of the two". It could also derive from the goddess Hecate, who presided over magic and spells, and was associated with keeping away evil spirits. ''Heller'' is a Bavarian surname used to describe people who lived in the Swabian town of Hall. ''Astral'' comes from the late Latin “astralis”, from “astrum”, meaning star. | |||
